powershell v2 remoting – How do you enable unencrypted traffic

AllowEncrypted is defined on the client end, via the WSMAN: drive. You must be running powershell.exe (or powershell_ise.exe) as an elevated process.

ps> cd WSMan:\localhost\Client
ps> dir
Name                      Value
----                      -----
NetworkDelayms            5000
URLPrefix                 wsman
AllowUnencrypted          false
Auth
DefaultPorts
TrustedHosts

You would change it like so (after changing to the directory above):

Set-Item .\allowunencrypted $true

Hope this helps,
